Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer with stage IV
disease, either biopsy proven or with unequivocal evidence of metastatic disease by
physical examination or radiological study.
- Cohorts 1 and 2: Documented germline (Cohort 1) or somatic mutation or homozygous
deletion (Cohort 2) in one of the DNA repair genes listed below that is deleterious
or suspected to be deleterious, and no germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The
mutation may be identified through any CLIA approved NGS panel.
- ATM, ATR, BARD1, BRIP1 (FANCJ), CHEK2 , FANCA, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF,
FANCM, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, RAD50, RAD51C, RAD51D, plus other HR-related genes
at the discretion of Dr. Tung with the key study collaborators (see details
below in italics). (Cohorts 1 or 2)
--- OR
- Documented somatic mutation (deleterious or suspected deleterious) in BRCA1 or
BRCA2 through any CLIA approved lab only if in addition to the lack of a
germline BRCA1/2 mutation is demonstrated through a CLIA approved lab. Patients
with germline mutations in BRCA1/2 are NOT eligible for this study. (Cohort 2
only)
- Cohort 1a: germline PALB2 mutation
-- The mutation must be identified through a CLIA-approved NGS panel. Mutations must
be reviewed and confirmed by Dr. Tung to meet eligibility prior to registration.
- Cohort 2a: somatic mutation of BRCA 1 or BRCA 2
-- The mutation must be identified through a CLIA-approved NGS panel. Mutations must
be reviewed and confirmed by Dr. Tung to meet eligibility prior to registration.
Documentation of absence of germline mutation in BRCA 1/2 is required.
- All deep (homozygous) deletions, frameshift mutations and truncating mutations in
the genes listed above are eligible as well as missense variants in these genes that
have previously been reported as pathogenic or likely pathogenic. If there is a
discrepancy between two labs regarding the pathogenicity of a particular variant,
the final decision regarding eligibility will be determined by the study steering
committee.

(MRI where CT is contraindicated) and is suitable for repeated assessment as per
RECIST 1.1.
-- NOTE: If the only site of measurable of disease has been previously irradiated,
there must be evidence of post-radiation progression. For a lesion to be considered
as measurable, it must be one that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥ 10 mm
in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have short axis ≥ 15 mm) with
computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and which is suitable
for accurate repeated measurements
- Patients may not have progressed on more than two chemotherapy regimens in the
metastatic setting.

hypersensitivity or neuropathy) but had not progressed on that regimen, or if a
prior chemotherapy regimen was discontinued after response achieved, it will
not be counted in the number of prior chemotherapy regimens allowed.

dose was > 12 months before identification of metastatic disease.
Platinum-based chemotherapy in the metastatic setting is not permitted.
- History of prior anthracycline (e.g. doxorubicin, epirubicin) and taxane-based
(e.g. paclitaxel, docetaxel) chemotherapy in the neo-adjuvant / adjuvant or
metastatic setting is preferred, but not required.
- Patients with hormone receptor-positive (estrogen and/or progesterone
receptor-positive) disease must have received and progressed on at least one
endocrine therapy (adjuvant or metastatic), or have disease that the treating
physician believes to be inappropriate for endocrine therapy. Endocrine therapy
must have been completed at least 7 days before study treatment.
- Prior radiation is allowed; radiation therapy must have been completed at least
21 days before study treatment.
- Prior treatment with FDA approved or investigational biologics (other than PARP
inhibitors) and novel molecularly targeted therapies, including oral or IV
formulations, shall not exclude patients from participation.
